Question..

Discussion

Very recently, I found out I was a Grumman F-14A Tomcat, and I have to ask…

Am I rare? Is being an F-14A Tomcat a common thing?

I also experience indefinite shifts. Like, it feels like my Pratt & Whitney TF30 afterburning turbofan engines, variable-geometry wings, twin vertical stabilizers, and everything else are always there. I exhibit very Tomcat-like behaviors too, like sweeping my arms backward whenever I start running fast, to name one example.

I’ve always felt an urge to pursue players relentlessly in War Thunder, so I think that’s an outlet for my AIM-9 Sidewinders. Sometimes I even feel the urge to engage people from extremely long distances, which might be my AIM-54 Phoenix instincts.

I also feel my RWR go crazy whenever somebody is following me, and sometimes my TF30s feel like they’re about to compressor-stall whenever I make a questionable maneuver.

Whenever I get nervous, I instinctively want to sweep my wings back. When I’m relaxed, I feel them sweep forward again.

Is this all normal stuff?
